My bad, I thought paladins were also doing avoidance cap like DKs are doing in addition to the mastery stacking.

Yes. you get over 97% avoidance quite easily. You actually need more than 102.4% if you're doing 85 or 90 raids to be completely avoidance capped.
I understand the difference. read what i wrote.
vengeance is still gained on avoided hits. if you get hit for 80k or if you dodge an 80k hit you get the same vengeance.
increasing your mastery increases the effect on the exploit on stacking vengeance.
if you have 50% DR (using the 80k hit example) you get vengeance as if you got hit for 120k
if you have 99% DR you get vengeance as if you got hit for 8000000.

this shit is getting old. it's not a scaling issue. it's a specific bug. the scaling is fine and intended, the bug is not. no other 80 tanks are benefiting from the bug because it's prot pally specific

Wish they'd just remove the MoP items from level 80. This bug is hardly doable at any other level than 80. A bit lazy fix but still :q Seeing how several other things are just fucked up at 80 because of mop items as well, such as 120 avoidance on DKs in order to tank high level bosses, mages pulling MASSIVE dps (more than most 90s in many cases) as well as other classes.

121% i think

yeah is quite fucked, ghostcrawler said they will looking in to the 409 items tho, so dont expect it to be op so much longer

Why do people still reference the 102.4% avoidance? It's not even relevent anymore, and the number is 109%.

Because I needed an avoidance number to mean you would dogde/parry/miss every attack and wasn't sure what the correct one was, because I find it really hard to believe that the avoidance capping is happening for paladins at least because I remember checking one of the armories and Parry was only at 64% I think, and due to strength that's rising higher than dodge.

The MoP cap is 109%. Miss chance doesn't exist(or it's 3% for equal level mobs, diminished by 1.5% per level, so a boss will never miss you), and you need 1.5% per avoidance per level against a +3 mob. If I use an avoidance set on my paladin, I get around 101% parry, ~25% dodge (which is way overkill anyway).

The individual often has no say in the matter, and non-attendance in frowned upon.I am so tired of seeing terrible people, being admired, for being terrible people.

It's not really a "to the ground" thing, though. Have you ever hit your HP in Vengeance AP when tanking at 90? The only thing this applies to is people abusing server/client communication issues and non-max level stat scaling.

I was talking about level 80 soloing, hence the thread name that you changed. Silly Malthanis. 1,000,000 < 105,000 is a big nerf.

I was talking about level 80s who get millions of AP through vengeance and thus are able to solo level 80-90 content. Blizzard did a smart thing and now those 80s won't be able to solo even Marrowgar in ICC-10.
